ERIC ZUESSE—Isolationism and preaching ‘peace’ in the face of imperialists is short-sighted foolishness. That foolishness ends by being invaded: by means of subversion, sanctions, coup, and/or military action.) There can be no peace with an empire, unless it’s an expired one. Empires are the very engines of war, and of nearly constant war.

RT: NATO Nations Start to Go Public About U.S. Government’s International Dictatorship
12 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—This might be the moment when history turns against the U.S. Government in much the same way that history turned against the Soviet Government during 1989-90, and what had been a bipolar world (ruled by the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.) turned into the current mono-polar one (the U.S. reigning alone), which — after its defeats in Iraq, and in Libya, and in Syria, and in Afghanistan (after its failure much earlier in Vietnam, in 1975) — is now failing also in Ukraine, which is its first and only full-fledged proxy-war against, and aiming to conquer ultimately, Russia.

The Gouzenko Hoax That Unleashed the Cold War
32 minutes readMATT EHRET—Could the lack of evidence and the long gap in time be related to Gouzenko’s five and a half month stay at Ottawa’s Camp X spy compound under the control of Sir William Stephenson before his defection was made public? Could those apparent 108 documents used by Gouzenko’s dodgy dossier have anything to do with the Camp X Laboratory which specialized in forging letters and other official documents? If you find yourself thinking about the parallels of this story to the more recent case of the Brookings Institute’s Igor Danchenko who was found to be the “source” of the dodgy dossiers used to create RussiaGate by MI6’s Christopher Steele, Richard Dearlove and Rhodes Scholar Strobe Talbott, then don’t be shocked. It means you are using your brain.
